Review by: Tatia
There wasn't much about this story that I didn't enjoy. The progression of it was so perfect. It didn't seem rushed or prolonged anywhere.
Shannon Hale did it. She made her brother's dream come true. He's a professional football player. Having just been drafted to the Rough Riders, they believe he could be the one to help take them all the way. She soon meets Oliver Powell, the captain of the team. He's cocky and has absolutely ZERO filter. He's known as the player of the team. He doesn't get close to women, but something about Shannon has him wanting more than just one night. She's different than the other women that usually try to get his attention. She actually wants to know him, not for money or notoriety, just to find out who he really is. He's unsure about it as the last time he let a woman get close to him burned him. He'll soon find out that taking a risk may just be worth it.
Shannon and Oliver face their own challenges, separately and together. It's not all smooth sailing from the beginning. People from their pasts come back to start trouble, words are said after long days at work, and their relationship is pushed to its limit. I loved the dynamic between these two. Not only them, but Shannon's brother Beaux plays a large part as well. He supports Shannon and her dreams and wants her to succeed just as much. You have to read the book to see how it all plays out.
